Kawasaki ER5/KLE/EX500 - Episode 61 - Rebuilding the starter motor

Whats in the video is in the title. On a side note, although the exact components will be different, most starter motors are very similar to this should the same process can be followed as a guide to whatever starter you have.

Awesome video, loved the casual conversational tone while providing plenty of information to go back to during a live rebuild, and I'm happy to say my starter found new torque again, thank you!

Great video in fact they all are. You definitely know your stuff thanks for your help. Same or similar Kawasaki parts as the KLE 500. Keep up the good work.

Bloody helpful videos. Helped me out a lot ( 'cos I'm a newbie to bikes ) with my restoration of a 1993 GPZ500S

What is the oil seal number I need that you mentioned that Kawasaki don’t include in the spare’s list please?

[@memybikeni9931]

Matt what exactly is the thrust element of a thrust washer for ??? . Washers are a mystery, crush/squash, spring, spacing. Seems to be so many doing loads of different functions but all the same in make up. I assume this is a type of washer on a rotating shaft for some sort of bearing function ?

[@dizzydavid4668]

The positive wire goes to the long screw on the starter right???

[@erciyesceteci9242]

Does "old" outer oring that makes seal with the block and starter motor can cause oil leaks, do you have any idea.

What's the website you use for parts?

Link previous Video hummm ....

What product are you using in your ultrasonic? DCN? Any chance for more info for a clueless yank? I use purple power in mine usually.

[@sk8dude112]

Did you grease the oilseal?

Chooching and pixie wrangling? How skookum would you say it is? ;)

[@DoubleYouPee1]

But does it work?
